this my be a bit off topic I am not sure but could someone tell me where to get the patch to allow mp3 ringtones I have been unable to find it on the web.
Thanks,
Yonu
you don't need a patch - put the mp3 file in windows folder and choose the ringtone you want from the phone setting screen.
I have tryed that however it doesn't allow me to choose it as a ringtone
any sugesstions on what may not be installed?

Probably nothing. Put the files in \windows\rings, that's where mine had to be for the system to use them.
I did notice that if the 'ring' is shorter than the amount of time the phone will ring before passing the call to VM, the sound file doesn't repeat, at least it didn't with one of the mp3's I installed.
tryed that for instance the cingular ring tone is in windows\rings however it isn't even an option i ran a regeditor on it and it says the rings folder ins windows\rings
hey I got it i thought what the hell and flash the Bios ROM up to a newer version and they work now
Thanks again
mainly cause I prefer to simnmply edit the mp3 and copy it ove that way if i want i can use the whole sone and still have the mp3 to listen to if wanted thank you for the suggestion thoughr
And why spend money on a utility that isn't even needed for the BA's, much less at all?
There is a web site that will convert just about any sound format into another format, including the qcp format, for those phone that can't play mp3 files natively.
It also converts other file types (spreadsheets, archives, etc).
URL I leave as an exercise for the reader.
Plus there are ways using free software to do the conversion as well.
I searched around a bit, and couldn't find any other similar threads, but by all means, delete this if I'm wrong.
I've put together a compilation of all the ringtones, alarms, and notifications I have come across in the various android builds that are currently out there.
I found that after hopping from one build to another (particularly from a G to an H build), the ringtone/alarm/notification sets are completely different. I put this together to have the best (well, all i guess) of each build, and figured i would share.
**Newly updated link (7/7/09) as i've added more tones from the latest legitimate Hero build, Ophone, And a few others.
Tone Counts:
31 Alarms (up from 18)
97 Notifications (up from 61)
134 Ringtones (up from 116)
Extract these folders (Ringtones, Notifications, Alarms) to the root of your SD card, and the phone will recognize the files automatically.
Note: If you will almost certainly have doubles when you browse your tones on the device. To remedy this, you can either completely delete all tones from your phone via ADB, or:
Go to your tone selection screen, make note of which tones you currently have, and delete those tones form this package before copying it to your SD card.
If i missed any tones from other builds, let me know and I'll add them.
Also, you are obviously free to save some space by deleting tones that you dislike prior to uploading them.

Thank you! =] you might want to remove the MACOSX folder in the zip. lol. and all the DS_Store files.
thanks man, i've been creaeting my own cause i was too lazy to hop from one build to another every day. i like some of the stock G1 sounds but didn't feel like trying to pull them from updates or the phone itself
great job on this!!
if you push all of those to system, you are going to run out of space.

True... i'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to apps and such, i really only use about 15 apps that aren't stock. After pushing these to /system, i have 53MB of free space on the phone.
Heed The Dude's warning though, if you're the type that likes a lot of aftermarket apps, you may want to filter out the tones which you know you won't use, consider doing Apps2SD, or just keep these on your SD card.
PS - I'll update later with a version which doesn't contain the MACOSX/DS_Store files, they are un-needed, so for now just delete them manually.
Maybe this is not the right thread for this, but is there a notification for SMS/MMS when you're talking on the phone?

Even with apps2sd, low space warnings will occur.
why do you bother to push them on system?
just keep the same folder tree on sdcard.
media/audio
and in this audio folder : alarms notification ringtones and ui
Thanks so much,
Greate work.
You don't need to push them onto the system partition. If you just drop the audio folder on the SDcard, you will have the same result and it will even stick around between builds.
something weird is going on here.. i pushed them to the phone.. everything appeared to be successful but whenever i mount my sd card to the pc all of the ring and notification tones disappear from the menus until i disconnect it
Fixed it! yay!
Using this + /Audio folder on SDCARD with the CM v3.2 build, works perfectly. No need to push any tones, the sytem finds the audio folder and applies the sounds without worries. Thanks for sharing!
anyone want or looking for Palm PRE ringtone i got it ill email if anyone wants it
thanks mate
thanx
Thanks for your great job. I appreciated!
Upated with some more tones, and added the T-Mobile "t-jingle" ringtone per request. Let me know if theres any straggling "MACOSX" folders or .DSStore files.
Thanks!
Nice job! Variety is the spice of life...
Thx!!!
Exactly what I was lookin for!!!
Hi folks,
I just purchased my HTC Evo 4G and used this forum to modify the living hell out of it.
Thanks to all the developers here for making things easy and possible; for I thought I was doomed when I found out that NASCAR couldn't be removed (no offense to NASCAR fans).
I've successfully rooted my phone with Android 2.2, updated my radio and some other things, and installed the Cyanogen 6 mod on it. I'm very pleased with my phone so far, but I have a few questions to anyone who has knowledge of the concerned subjects here.
I tried using the search feature in this forum, but all I found were convoluted messes of things that only had the words of what I'm searching for in them.
1.) First things first, I noticed that my HTC Sense clock and calender were gone after installing the Cyanogen mod. So! I just downloaded Beautiful Widgets on my desktop and I'm ready to install my phone. I know how to install the .apk file, but the package also came with a 'data' folder. To which directory should I place this data folder in the micro SD card?
2.) In the Cyanogen Mod, the 'Talk' and 'End' sliding keys were changed from the original operating system. Is there a modding section here or any website that focuses on modifying those keys, or other keys in general?
3.) I'm thinking about upgrading my micro SD card. Mine is currently a Class II 8 GB card. What is the difference between different classes of cards and how does it effect the Evo 4G?
4.) I noticed that with installing the Cyanogen 6 mod, that I get a pesky text message from 9016 whenever I get a voicemail. I've used an app to blacklist and ignore these messages.. but is there any other way?
5.) The Cyanogen 6 mod comes with a music player widget. This widget seems to bug out from time to time. If I end up rotating my phone, the widget bugs to where the album art is gone and the skip-track and play buttons become inoperable. This will also happen if I plug earphones in. Is there a solution to this?
That's all the questions I have. I'm sure some of these issues were addressed throughout the forum.. and I answered several of my questions with the search feature. This list is simply what I have left. Thanks in advance!
.data folder? How about you pay for the software! if you pay for and install from the market these things don't happen. Piracy is a big issue and its ruining android.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Alas, I did pay for it. Unfortunately, when I messed something up and started from square one in modding my phone, I forgot to do a nandroid backup and lost it. So! I'm simply trying to take back what was mine (and that I foolishly lost).
apologies. umm market downloads are stored within your gmail account so when you reflash you can re download free of charge?
Hi everyone
i've had nothing but good things happen so far with the threads on doing custom ringtones, but on the same token, i was wondering if it was possible to do the same thing to the alarms and alerts,
say what you will about the factory alarm tones, nothing is more effective in the morning than Time by Pink Floyd

already, that's fantastic, a big thanks on behalf of everyone!
Items required:
Unlocked (with ChevronWP7 or Developer unlocked) WP7 device
ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer
MS Expression Encoder or other audio conversion software
XAP Installer (Tom XAP or WP7 SDK Application Deployment)
TouchXplorer: http://forum.touchxperience.com/download/file.php?id=44&sid=5129675be033d863b931bdc3bee51b36
1. Choose files to use as alert/alarm sounds. If in WMA format already skip to step 3.
2. Using MS Expression or equivalent, convert files to WMA.
3. Rename desired alert tones to Alert-01.WMA (you can subsitute the number based on what sound you'd like to replace, because we will be overwriting the corresponding sound) or for alarms it'd be Alarm-01.WMA (or corresponding). NOTE: You will be overwriting the sounds so make sure you review all sounds and make sure you don't mind not having them anymore if you're overwriting them.
4. Using ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer deploy these files to your device through an XAP Installer.
5. Install TouchXplorer by deploying XAP to device.
6. Using TouchXplorer navigate to My Documents>My Ringtones and highlight desired alert/alarm sound. Bring up the menu and copy it. Navigate back to root menu and go into Windows. Paste alert/alarm sound; it will ask if you wish to overwrite, click yes. Done. Repeat for all other alert or alarm sounds.
NOTE : I believe this will only work on HTC phones ATM, since TouchXplorer only works on HTC devices for now.
Why cant I just use the windows deployment tool (on focus) , renaming the files , I tried installing an alert using the chevron and it sent it to the ringtone folder , I made the alert, Alert-11 since they were all in sequence, but I'll try just renaming the files , if I have to use Toms Ill try that, but I cant use the touchexpress (and theres no equivelent that i know of for samsung,yet)
It does allow me to install touchexpress , but all I is the "My Device" search , not sure if it works or needs certain parameters to use to find anything, also I dont know the file structure in this phone anyway, it does have all menu items but grayed out, so it might get an update later on and work
I guess Microsoft doesnt want this on the device !
" TouchXplorer has been Revoked by Microsoft , you'll have to re-install it, but it just stays on for a minute before getting revoked again!
Download the alarm clock w/ weather app...lets you assign any song you have in Zune as an alarm tone (touchxplorer only works with htc devices)...plus it acts as a nice bedside clock with weather information
it might be worth getting the app just to see how they import the songs!

Your device re-locked itself, nothing was revoked.
This is great!!!
Hack my ringtones is succesfull, tomorrow i will try to rewrite some alert tones.
@eternalemb - thanks for the tip! i successfully added my rooster alarm and much louder txt msg and email tones!
I did it too
R2D2 as my text tone
Thanks for your time and good work!!!
Anyone figure out how to do it without an HTC Device. I have the DVP and the alarms that come with the device are no way near loud enough to wake me up. My old alarm was set to Chop Suey by System of a Down! WAKE UP!!!! I have a developer account as well if that will help.

Unlike for ringtones, there's no function for adding them in the OS (ringtones use Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended I think) other than using file manipulation, or registry tweaks, both of which can only be done on HTC devices at the moment.
This is great!!! Worked a treat for the alerts. Just need to do the alarms now.
Just one question..... There seems to be a limit on the number of alerts. Has anyone else come across this? Originally there are 10 alerts so I created an 11th but this doesn't seem to get picked up at all.

The alerts are listed in the registry by name, you're replacing one of the built in ones, so no changes are needed there, adding an extra alert will only work if you can edit the registry.

must it be higher or ???
thanks..
After lurking for about 3 months on XDA and the Arc forum i finally found the nerve to go beyond just rooting and removing some blotware.
Compared to other hardware, Hifi, PC etc forums I found XDA really difficult as a beginner. There are a lot of guides/tutorials. However they all seem to require a basic understanding of android and the tools surrounding it. Every guide/tutorial I read, always resulted in more questions than answers. I constantly found my knowledge wanting as to fundemental functions of the different tools, drivers etc. Atleast for me, I was long and hard process before I felt comftortable enough to move on.
Anyway I finally found the nerve to unlock my boatloader, install a custom kernel and ROM.
For first time, it went incredible smooth. However I have som questions regarding the JJ hybrid ROM. Since I don´t have +10 posts. I will ask here instead of the developer thread.
- Contacs:
I exported all my contacs to SIM card and imported them again after I was done. However when importing my contacs it seemed to shorten/cut all the names of my contacs.
Is this a problem in this specific ROM or a general issue and what to do about it?
- Trebuchet:
I´m having some problems using some of the features in Trebuchet. I would really like to change the icons and increase the dock size to include more shortcuts. However nothing happens when I press the "Icon" and "Dock" under the Trebuchet menu.
Are those two functions just not working or is it a problem on my end?
Generally I find Trebuchet a little wanting in features compared to GoLauncher I was using before. Is it possible to install another launcher or will it mess up the ROM?
- Camera:
As far as I can tell the are no tweaks in JJ´s ROM to improve the camera/post picture processing and hence increase the image quality. Is there any ROM where this is included?
I think that was it for now. However, I´m sure more questions will follow as I dig deeper in to this ROM.
Thank you in advance.
I don't know about the rest but regarding your contacts, you should have exported them to your memory card instead of the SIM.
Saving numbers to the SIM is really outdated. You'd probably be able to save a maximum of 250 contacts i.e. One contact with a single number. I believe the name field is limited to 8 or 16 characters, so anything longer would be cut short. If you had two numbers for a contact, it would be saved as 2 separate entries.
This is not a limitation of the ROM but of the SIM card. And unfortunately, there's no way of retrieving all your contacts and numbers unless you had them synced with the Google servers.
